Inspired by Renaissance Italian maiolica \u0026amp; French Palissy ware, it is known for its colourful translucent lead glazes \u0026amp; relief-moulded designs featuring natural motifs such as flowers, leaves, fruit, shells, \u0026amp; sea life. Initially a luxury item, advances in industrial production made majolica widely affordable, \u0026amp; it became a popular feature in Victorian homes in the form of tableware, planters, vases, \u0026amp; decorative objects. Its popularity declined in the early twentieth century as tastes shifted towards simpler styles such as Art Nouveau \u0026amp; the Arts and Crafts movement, while growing awareness of the dangers of lead poisoning in pottery production also contributed to its decline. Today, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVictorian majolica is highly valued for its vibrant colours, sculptural forms, and craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"History Unearthed Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58614417162623,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/7929\/8943\/files\/BC3F7AEC-9352-4A5A-8567-24FADF3CCC54.jpg?v=1791132756","url":"https:\/\/shop.historyunearthed.uk\/products\/mudlarked-majolica-sherd-pendant","provider":"History Unearthed Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
